This is Tom McMahon. I've been in and out of model railroading for 35 years. Started in HO and N, then to modern G. Had to sell all the large scale to make room for two beautiful little girls who are now 12 and 9. Have been following RailPro and it's progress for three or four years. Was super excited when I saw the large scale modules and decided to get back into 'it'......2 rail O scale this time. Large enough for my less-than-perfect vision, and small enough to still build something awesome indoors.
Professionally speaking, I've been in various roles of product development for 20+ years - design, 3D modeling, engineering and prototyping (I was working with 3D printers before it was cool). This translates extremely well to my hobbies and I'm constantly creating 'stuff'.
I'm here for information, and hopefully to add to conversations....share what knowledge I do have :o.
Thank you,
Tom

Welcome and I'm glad that O scale is working out for you. I was introduced to 3D printing a few years ago and have gone nuts with it. As you know the potential for modeling fidelity is amazing. My first project (which took me a little over 3 years as I had to teach myself SketchUp as well) was an HO scale Triple Underpass from Dealey Plaza in Dallas, TX. The results are impressive.
Welcome aboard!

Hello all. As a kid living near the main lines of the New York Central and Nickle Plate a stones throw from each other, I enjoyed the parade on many summer days, especially the steam. I dabbled with some HO during those years, but dropped it for 50+ years. Even after having been retired for a number of years, it took a lost Rivarossi berkshire during a downsizing household move used once a year on a 4 x 5 board with a Christmas tree in the middle to rekindle the interest. While researching my options for DCC, it took a while before stumbling across RailPro. Not being a wizard at any of this, it just seemed that RailPro was technologically way ahead of the DCC stuff. So here I am with my very modest RailPro 4 x 8 layout in my 12 x 12 office.

Welcome Tom. You will find some good information in these threads. Feel free to ask questions if you get stuck.

Hi,
My name is Bill and I'm getting back into the hobby, HO scale, after a long absense. Railpro for me was an easy decision, however, I'm having a difficult time finding "DCC Ready" locos. Any help would be appreciated. Many are advertised with sound and Dcc......is this the same as dcc ready? I ask this because none specify which decoder is installed. Not knowing anything about DCC, will the installed dcc decoder work with any dcc system.....digitrax...NCE etc?
thanks in advance
